Price, lead time and documents for your market are confirmed in the quotation.
Key takeaways
- Model 2 of 4 in the HP-N13–N16 group: HP-N14 is a vertical autoclave machine for wards and labs.
- Shares the HP-N13–N16 body design: a hand-wheel lid, front gauge, digital keypad and castors.
- Quote-based supply: send quantity, voltage and destination; the data sheet and market documents come with the quotation.
HOPE INTERNATIONAL lists HP-N14 as model 2 of 4 in the HP-N13–N16 vertical group: a vertical autoclave machine of the pressure steam type. It combines a hand-wheel lid with front-mounted digital controls – the multi-clamp HP-N07–N12 and the side-panel HP-N17–N23 are the alternatives. Per-model data sheets let you compare HP-N14 with HP-N13 and HP-N15.
Key Features
- Floor-standing vertical format – larger loads than a table top unit on a small footprint.
- As shown in the photo – a hand-wheel top closure, a pressure gauge above a digital display and keypad on the front panel, and castor wheels.
- Four models, one design – HP-N14 sits between HP-N13 and HP-N15; compare neighboring data sheets.
- No chemical sterilant – steam and pressure do the work; the running inputs are water and heat.
Applications
Laboratories use a vertical unit like HP-N14 for media, glassware and autoclavable plastics; hospitals use it for instrument sets, drums and linen where a horizontal CSSD machine would be oversized. Hospitals and labs looking for a vertical steam sterilizer with front-mounted controls can compare HP-N14 with the rest of the N13–N16 group.
How to specify when requesting a quote
- Model – quote HP-N14; add HP-N13 and HP-N15 if you are still choosing a size.
- Water – ask how HP-N14 is filled; plan for distilled or demineralized water to limit scale.
- Safety features – ask for the protection list of HP-N14: safety valve, interlock, over-temperature, low-water cut-off.
- Documents – name the destination market for the pressure-vessel and electrical-safety papers that apply.
- Quantity – units of HP-N14 and any HP-N models to ship together.

Documents
Certificates, declarations of conformity and test reports for the specific model and destination market are provided with the quotation.
An autoclave is both a pressure vessel and an electrical appliance, and import rules differ by country. Tell us where HP-N14 will be installed and we will confirm which pressure-vessel, electrical-safety and registration documents apply; ask for the data sheet and operating manual with your quote.
Frequently asked questions
+What is a vertical autoclave?
It is an upright autoclave: the chamber stands vertically inside a cabinet, loads are lowered in from the top in baskets or drums, and steam under pressure sterilizes them. HP-N14 follows this layout within the HP-N13–N16 group.
+What capacity do vertical autoclaves have?
Most vertical units sit between table top and horizontal sizes, and a range usually offers several chamber volumes in the same design. Ask for the chamber diameter, depth and basket count of HP-N14 to check your load fits.
+How often should an autoclave be tested?
Monitor every cycle, put a chemical indicator in each pack and run a biological indicator test at least weekly, after repairs and when installing a new unit such as HP-N14. Local regulations may require more; the pressure vessel and safety valve also need periodic inspection.
+How does HP-N14 compare with the other HP-N13–N16 models?
HP-N14 is the second of four models built on the same vertical body. Its published name does not state a volume, so we confirm chamber size, heating power, weight and packed dimensions for HP-N14 – and for HP-N13 and HP-N15 if you want to compare – in the quotation.
